    AM delivery done. Napped. Woke up with a feeling of purpose that the wife couldn't shake (I'm working more than I post here) Going to finish my hazmat cert, then audit my pays vs runs this year... Briefly checked local news. All the talk is about recession. Whatever, I choose not to...

    Probably should have put my 2 cents in...the extra 3500 lbs goes in the "loophole"...

    I hope that wasn't a trucking related statement or we'll have to send you back to the noobie forum :pokepoke: Nice 300 mile shorty ending near my house. Gosh it will be nice to get my first solid pay. 4000 past oil change, black death in one cylinder and broken right wiper. Eating noodles .

    The Newer Unreliable Cargo Vans

    I have an idea to buy an off lease 1 year old van, approximately 20k miles, then sell after 1 year Its a 10k discount, and hopefully worth near what I paid after that year...never done it tho I don't know if I want the work of being on the other side anymore...where a van can't lose any more...

    People must be enjoying st paddys day...no posts Just found out as a self employed contractor I can issue my own hazmat certificate and training (rather than have it tied to my employer) Suddenly it just got interesting enough to obtain

    Where am I wrong?

    The simple solution is go where there aren't too many drivers. I can reposition my sprinter for $10 an hour in fuel...that's a lot of hwy miles...try that in a TT

    We had a similar lawsuit against former version of the company I work with. The change came as I'm allowed to find my own freight (otherwise I'd be an employee not o / o) but so far this year as I made myself ready to do just that, they've noticed and fed me some very lucrative business in...

    I dislike large companies that make you pay insurance, plates, tolls, truck payments, fuel, maintenance, and take responsibility for fines or shortages, while telling you what to pick up, where to go, what you will wear, free advertising decal on your truck, and when you are to buy a new one...

    New to the game

    I agree with that. I've got a mountain of business to choose from now. Unfortunately someone lit a fire under my carrier's ass and I'm currently being bribed to give up my freedom :D

    Awesome! Glad things are getting shook up a bit here. I could say how to get paid by brokers here, but then nobody would learn anything

    Can i find a job?

    You'll have a difficult time moving to America based on trucking. More drivers aren't really needed. The idea there is a shortage is a lie. The name expedite is "a trucking kind" . Yes you can, and people do, work with a dodge ram 2500. Usually that is called "hot shot" and you haul stuff on a...

    Not disruption but a transportation fix — and how it's changing trucking

    Ok. It escapes me. Why is fuel in there? I'd think the important statement begins and ends with "50% of goods moved less than 100 miles between origin and destination"

    Scan tools

    Be very careful about asking the maker. Try and find out from a user. Chinese companies that have a business built on hacked and stolen software aren't known for accuracy or customer service Just do some research on Sprinter-source.com first, or talk to those using a tool with success directly

    Sorry I haven't been complaining lately. I made enough noise, now I'm swamped. Gonna grab some sleep now and see if my refusal for tomorrow sticks, or if I have another 700 miles and 20 odd stops... We really miss everything on the highways. I can't get over the huge towns even a little over...
